God created us for His good pleasure. Just because He wanted to. I think He is a creative and very intelligent being. He wanted to create something that would be a part of Himself.

No. I don't think we were created. The MAIN "purpose" of your life is the same as the main purpose of every other type of life on this planet (and probably every planet), to reproduce. Not glorious, not fair, I know. But life isn't fair. Accepting that life isn't fair, in big ways and small, is a good step towards finding peace.

well if i was god, and i was alive for infinite time, created angels got bored with them. i would create a little subrace of humans, help them along for a while, and then disappear randomly, watching them evolve technologically and then fight over whether i exist or not. that was be so amusing.

Dear Mind - Over:
There is a noteworthy parallel, here on earth, regarding your question. I would like to use it because it reflects an aspect of our Creator, as I have been taught about it by Jesus.
In religious/spiritual life we all see those who claim they have "found" something. We see well-known personalities who have "found" this thing. Wealthy people with influence in this world - who upon having this experience frequently dissolve into tears and can barely speak. Big athletes - over 6' tall, crying like babies over this thing - they have "found."
What follows the tears, however, is a passion or "fire" that sets them off on a course of teaching. They cannot stop "OVERFLOWING" their love, their gratitude, their fullness, in being part of the Creator. We have all seen this at different times, this witnessing, haven't we?
What is occurring inside of them is a "flow" of Divine love that knows no end. They will speak for hours without a break, flowing out to others what they are taking in - from experiencing the Divine Nature. If made to stop, by any circumstance, they are left with nowhere to pour out the intake they keep experiencing. Like a vessel that is terribly overfull ; an uncomfortable thing -until it can release some of its precious properties.
God lay in His abode of space. Alone. He was Thought - waiting to manifest itself. He was a fountain of joyousness and an abstract, generalized love that simply expressed itself within His Spirit-Mind ceaselessly. He was so filled with a generalized love, a love energy that moved ceaselessly through His Spirit, that He needed a vessel to overflow into. He Created in His Own Likeness - spirit-minds that in human experience, we call Soul. It lies behind the human Intellect. It is the umbilical cord to the Creator. As a channel of spirit-mind, the vessels that God Created fill up with His love and need to overflow what they are receiving : Love, the experience of Unlimited-ness in a Non -Representational form (without physical structure), Ecstacy , Power of Manifestation of Thought (Creation thoughts) and feelings of One-ness and Unity are the aspects of His beloved Kingdom.
The meaning of Life is TO BE. To be One and in unity with Him. To be a vessel of His outpouring of Himself and to be a vessel that outflows what we receive - onward to His other Creations.
We are His Completion. We are a source of His ever increasing love and devotions. He pours out Himself to us through Spirit. Without us ( the Kingdom) He is Incomplete. Love proceeds first from Him to us, then from us to each other, and then from all of us, in unison, back to Him - our Source of Ecstacy. The Kingdom is a spirit-mind frequency that undulates within the throes of His love and devotions and continued Creation. We are His Intimacy and He is ours.
Just behind the physical Mind lies this spirit He Created. The Intellect often denies it, but, nevertheless, it is there. All this is known within our souls. It is, this spirit-being, our purpose for life. We are the vessels of His overflow. It is up to each of us to learn how to commune with that part of ourselves and how to outflow its gifts. Our Brothers respond to its offering - as to nothing else. . ..
P.S.
Understand the Purity of Him and the "Kingdom" is a different thing from physical life through an Intellect, with Spirit/Soul ignored. The display of overflowing by religious "zealous" people who throw hellfire, damnation and Judgement at others, has nothing to do with your God - at all. Find your Soul and the Holy Spirit and Jesus who attend it - yourself.
Sincerely, Lana
